As you can see, I used Pollo here, to take a photo of me, make it look a bit more glam like a catwalk model, then turn that photo into a video with a hint of breeze. I think it looks really like me and very gorgeous. I just wish it was longer, and I had a twinkly designer dress, with me walking the catwalk between lots of other (much uglier) models.

31 March 1990. I had been out with my camera in Covent Garden and was walking back to Charing Cross when I came across the end of the poll tax demonstration in Trafalgar Square. At that point everything was peaceful and the crowds were starting to disperse. Charing Cross tube had been closed by this time, so I stayed around and took some shots of the crowds leaving Trafalgar Square. Some of the protesters had climbed the scaffolding and were throwing stuff at the police. And then a fire broke out in the builders' cabins. One of the first acts of John Major's government, was to replace the deeply unpopular poll tax introduced by his predecessor, Margaret Thatcher, with the council tax.
On 5 July 1881 the Chinese Immigrants Act, otherwise known as the 'Poll Tax', was passed by Parliament.
For the young Chinese men and women who left the overcrowding, famine, droughts and peasant revolts of 19th Century China, the goldfields of Otago were a bizarre new world. While some struck gold, many found cruel prejudice and adversity. This was a result of New Zealand's settlement policies, which aimed to create a Britain of the South Seas.
Any non-white immigrants, including Chinese, were regarded as undesirable. Coupled with tough economic conditions, anti-Chinese sentiment grew, and the Chinese Immigrants Act was passed by Parliament on 5 July 1881. The Act introduced a 'poll tax' of £10 per Chinese immigrant. For each ten tons of cargo that arrived in New Zealand, ships were allowed to land one Chinese passenger. By 1896, the ration was reduced to one passenger per 200 tons, and the tax increased to £100.
All travellers, Chinese or other, had to complete certificates of registration issued by the Collector of Customs. There were two copies of each certificate: one was held by the traveller; the other kept by the collector. When a traveller sought re-entry to New Zealand, the photograph or fingerprints with the certificate were used to establish their identity. As well as permitting re-entry, the system exempted those who had already paid the poll tax from having to pay it again when they returned to the country.
The Poll Tax was only lifted in 1934 by the minister of customs, and the Act was repealed in 1944. In 2002, the New Zealand Government officially apologised to the Chinese Community.
The image above is of a receipt from one of the many Poll Tax books which are housed by Archives New Zealand. Along with the name of the immigrant, Most receipts contain a formal photograph, or fingerprints, their age, place of origin, the date they were receipted and the name of the ship on which they arrived.
While the certificate books are a reminder of New Zealand's less than perfect past, they are also a valuable resource for genealogists and for the families of Chinese immigrants today. Often, the photograph attached to the receipt is the only surviving image of their relations. The image above shows Chong Ngan, born at Canton, Age 18, who arrived aboard the Maheno. His certificate was issued 14 February 1922. He paid £100.

Quello in cui si vedono i pinguini senza pagare un POUND.
Dopo il mercato di Camden.
Dopo le tazze di sturfucks
prima che cambiasse nome.
Dopo la prima notte a Londra
dopo secoli.
Pioggia e Vento, sempre.
E freddo
ma sticazzi.
THANKS London! *.*
Hanging out with some first years* in Asheboro, when someone spontaniously gets out a dancing poll. Shenanigans.
*first years refers to students in the first year of the photography concentration at RCC. I'm currently a second.. err, third year.

An electrical poll in Tokyo covered in red graffiti - with additional marks on the ground around the poll. Not sure what this is about exactly.
On a bike ride a while back I passed this pasture with the small herd of cows. I believe these are a Red Poll breed. Originally from England they are a cross of beef and dairy breeds and are intended to be an all purpose cow. If any viewers are better informed please do not hesitate to correct me. There is also a fence here so HFF.

Running a bit of a poll. I decided to revisit some photos I did this year and make something artistic out of at least one of them. Photo #1 is the original (which I've already posted to my Flickr page) but can't decide on which more artistic version (2, 3, or 4) I should put up next?
This is where you come in. Which one do you like the best of the bunch? Please leave me a note, a comment, or PM me with your choice within the next three weeks (extended due to the holidays), then I will tally up the totals and post the one people liked the best.
I'm also cross-posting this to my Tumblr, Facebook, and DeviantArt pages as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this and (hopefully) cast your vote. :-)

I found an old poll I set up on the internet. Going back the questions have 80-100 answers, so I'll have to try and remember to blog about them.
The irony is that the Aztec calendar was far closer to the annual cycle than the Graeco-Roman calendar by a long way.
Less than one week before the Iowa caucuses, students at Central Academy cast their ballots in the Iowa Youth Straw Poll. The activity is sponsored by the Iowa Secretary of State to help students learn more about the electoral process and share their opinion about candidates.
